Teatro Guaíra

Teatro Guaíra is a theater building in Curitiba featuring three performance halls designed for different types of events. The main auditorium seats approximately 2,173 spectators and hosts theater, dance, and musical performances, while smaller halls provide spaces for more intimate productions.

The building opened in 1884 as Theatro São Theodoro and later served as a political prison during the Federalist Revolution in Brazil. Following this turbulent period, it was restored and transformed into its current form as a cultural center.

The theater houses several resident companies, including the Paraná Symphony Orchestra and the Ballet Teatro Guaíra ensemble, who regularly perform on its stages. These groups shape the cultural life of the city and offer local audiences access to quality performances.

The theater is designed with accessibility features that accommodate people with different mobility needs to attend performances. Online booking systems make it easy to reserve tickets in advance and learn about the current program.

An attached dance school founded in 1956 trains professional dancers who bring the stage to life through regular performances throughout the year. This school has become an important training ground for stage artists in the region.
